OFFF is an entity in continuous transformation, alive and evolutionary. More than a decade ago, it was born as a post digital culture festival; a meeting place to host contemporary creation through an in depth programme of conferences, workshops and performances by the most relevant artists of our time.

These days, OFFF keeps being a reference event throughout the world. A festival hosted in Barcelona, New York, Lisbon and Paris which has featured renowned artists such as Joshua Davis, Stefan Sagmeister, John Maeda, Neville Brody, Kyle Cooper, The Mill, Digital Kitchen, Ben Fry & Casey Reas, Golan Levin, Chris Milk, Rob Chiu, Julien Vallée, Paula Scher, Rick Poynor, Erik Spiekermann, Dvein, Erik Natzke, Vincent Moon, Ze Frank, Alex Trochut, among others…The festival where a new generation of artists has originated and developed. All of them started attending OFFF as spectators. Today, they take up its main stage.

The OFFF phenomenon has also produced the creation of an extensive international network of artists, developers, theorists and even more importantly, people who love art in all its multiple expressions: students, fans, professionals and the curious. People who want to show what they do, to discover what others do and, above all to share their knowledge and their desires to inspire and to be inspired.

Additionally, the OFFF network includes a teaching centre, OFFF Atelier, a continuous presence in the web 2.0 and a permanent group of artists, organizers and producers ready to host OFFF events wherever they are in demand.

More than a decade ago, OFFF was born as a festival. Today, OFFF is a way of understanding art. A way of life. Evolving and transforming.

INFO

Year Zero. Year Alpha. Time to turn our back on the past. To just look forward. Upwards. Fearless of being blinded by the sun. It’s time to set up new rules, to invent new games. To forget about the “re-” and the “post-”. To become kids again and discover the world. Another one. It’s time to be revolutionary. There is no longer a present to determine us, because the present is us. We are the future. And the future will be just like we want it to be.

2011 is OFFF’s Year Zero. The year the festival will voluntarily forget its past and once again reinvent itself. In a new place. With new areas. With fresh ideas and the spirit of those who start something. Something big. Different. Better.

From OFFF we stand up to the passage of time. We reject it. We have decided not to age. Our route page is blank. Our map, waiting to be drawn. Nothing ties us. Nothing is forbidden. Nothing is done. There is no limit. Year Zero. Tabula rasa. Look, the dawn is breaking. It’s a new day rising.

YEAR ZERO

A wide range of special events takes place simultaneously within the festival. Over 70 conferences; performances; exhibitions; screenings of animation (motion graphics, microfilms, title sequences); interactive installations; collectives and artists market fair; social / networking chill-out areas; inspiring parties; and much more.

The festival is divided into seven major sections: Roots, Openroom, Workshops, Showplace, Mercadillo, Cinexin & Chillax.

ROOTS OFFF‘S HEART

Roots is OFFF’s heart. The pillar the festival is supported on. Its centre of gravity. Roots is the stage where the main artists of our time go to share their ideas, projects and experiences with the audience. Artists in the most contemporary sense of the word –designers, inventors, moviemakers, illustrators, developers-, capable of turning a conference into a creative event as inspired as inspiring.

The constant demands of artists by OFFF’s audience and the creators themselves, who maintain permanent communication with the organization through the festival’s web and ramifications 2.0 during the year, are now made real with Bis, a second stage thanks to which the Roots program is duplicated in quantity and quality. Bis is Roots’ natural extension, a place which will be used to hold even more artists without a need to extend OFFF to more than three days.

From 2011, Roots is more. And better.

OPENROOM THE RISING TALENTS SCENE

OFFF feeds the future. Not only from its aesthetic position. OFFF creates future. It does it in Openroom, a completely devoted stage for emerging talent where new artists are given the chance to make a name for themselves in front of their natural audience. With an identical format to Roots, one hour long conferences, Openroom outlines a possible future: belonging to those creators who fill its programme year after year.

Thanks to Openroom, OFFF speaks out as an enterprising event, constantly looking for new sensations, committed to its time and capable of creating feasible realities from its role as a beacon of contemporary creation.

WORKSHOPS THE INTERACTIVE LEARNING

The workshops area provide a valuable way of engaging attendees in a process of interactive learning.

CONTENTS

SHOWPLACE THE EXHIBITION AREA

Showplace is OFFF’s exposition area. A space where you can enjoy interactive installations, generative art pieces, immersive environments of sound, video and graphic work. Showplace is a place where ideas form, where some of the projects presented by the artists participating in Roots and Openroom can be enjoyed to all extents. A design which goes beyond exhibition, to immerse in a pure physical, aesthetic and perceptive experience.

Showplace is the place where the state of the art is gauged.

CINEXIN THE SCREENING ROOM

Cinexín is the area where, for three days, a complete programme of audiovisual work specifically selected by OFFF’s art directors is projected. A cosy place where you can enjoy some of the best productions of the season and even contrast opinions with the rest of the attendees. An essential complement to the rest of the OFFF programme, essential to be able to find all the good going on in the map of contemporary creation in electronic media.

MERCADILLO THE PLACE TO DISCOVER AND TO BE DISCOVERED

Mercadillo is the place to exchange products, projects and ideas. A space where, specifically organized by OFFF, a selection of artists, entrepreneurs, inventors, hardware and software developers, among others, have the opportunity to present their work through a rotating showcases program: 15 minutes to Feed the Future. They also have the

opportunity of selling it at a stand during the whole festival, and also a designated area for private meetings, chats and business, strategically located near the bar.

SPEAKER’S CORNER THE MEETING PLATFORM

Speaker’s Corner is the place where to meet and get to know people. A multipurpose space, something between a bar and the mercadillo, made for socializing. In Speaker’s Corner, you can have a beer with your friends, say hello to your favourite artist or, if you’re brave enough, present your own conference at OFFF 2011.

As Speaker’s Corner offers everyone a mini-stage where anybody can go on and present their work, show their inventions, play an instrument or to put forward their theories, as crazy as they might be, for 15 minutes. They’re the 15 minutes to Feed The Future, a bold format that opens in OFFF 2011 for the artist in you.

“Viral Creativity and the Vimeo Universe”

Video, as we know it, is violently redefining itself. Video is no longer just a medium, it’s now a movement. Films are changing. Art is changing. The audience is changing. And video on the web is the catalyst.

Vimeo, the video sharing site of choice for filmmakers and creatives, is at the forefront of this massive shift in video creativity and the expanding audience that has come to accept it. New technology is opening the doors to millions of people, and with this access comes an ever-evolving landscape of creative output, pushing the spectrum of creativity in exponential directions. It is influencing itself. Memes and trends of this new creative content are popping up everywhere. In essence, creativity has become viral.

Blake Whitman, VP of Creative Development at Vimeo, watches a lot of videos. Probably too many. But as the editorial voice of the site, he has witnessed, first-hand, a radical evolution of creative video and will attempt to blow your mind’s mind with new theories and examples of viral creativity on Vimeo, why it is changing “content”, and what the implications may be for the future of video itself.

With their steady flow of ever-growing skills and ideas, every day they do what we do best: Translate the analog experience, touch and feel to today’s full-blast Dolby Surround digital environment using nothing but the power of their amazingly fruitful and ingenious minds.

The worlds of graphics, video, audio, web, and games are their playground (one that they probably designed themselves).

Design is Dead takes a project from its inception through its development, realization and presentation and makes it work. Simply because they can, using their signature tools: a unique blend of graphic virtuosity, cross-medial activity, and technical knowledge. Presenting the OFFF new website!

GEOFF MCFETRIDGEJUNE 11TH/ 17:00 /MOTION GRAPHICS + STORYTELLING + ILLUSTRATION + ANIMATION

“Into The White Well”

When I am deep in concentration, my mind is not dark, it becomes bright with light. This is what I call the “white well”. This is where ideas come from, and ideas are central to my work. Ideas are essentially like inventing language. Ideas fill the gaps between language and things. Gaps such as; the difference between YEAH and YES, or physical gaps like; where the apple becomes the core.

In my art I try to viscerally connect the viewer with the indescribable. Connections that I find are essential and expansive if not spiritual.

Graphics can be like poetry. Poetry where you not only come up with the rhymes, but also invent the language.

Will discuss the merits of not working hard and dispel the myth that any success is always a good thing. He will moan, complain, whine, wheel, guffaw, gulp, sweat, swear and smear, all in an effort to explain how he has spent the last 10 years of his life and what on earth he’s going to do to make sure the next 10 are different.

It’s a talk about work and life, because you only have one life and you’ll probably end up working for most of it, which is kind of tragic.

There might be some jokes too. And photographs of salads. And maybe the odd drawing. The end.

INFORMATION IS BEAUTIFUL JUNE 10TH / 16:00 / INTERACTIVE DESIGN + THEORETICAL

“Information is beautiful”

In an age of high-speed living and info overload, visualized information has incredible potential to help us quickly understand, navigate and find meaning in complex world.

The use of infographics, data visualisations and information design is a rising trend across many disciplines: science, design, journalism and web.

At the same time, daily exposure to the web is creating a incredibly design-literate population. Could this be a new language?

David will share his passion for exciting potential of this merging of design, information, text and story. And unveil some of the interesting, unexpected and sometimes magical things that happen when you visualise data, knowledge and ideas.

And, admitting that his book is as full of mistakes as it is successes, he’ll also explore some of the common pitfalls, traps and FAILS that dog this young design form. Using examples from his book and blog, he’ll share thoughts on what makes a successful information visualisation and journalistic tips, especially for designers, on how to zero in on interesting data and subjects - and how designing information expose your own biases and change your views about the world. Oh yeah!

political, economic and social problems. Insecurity grows every day. Drug dealing, corruption and political scandals are usual topics in our everyday life.

But Mexicans have learned to deal these situations and we’re beginning to reach our goals, finishing our projects.

Designing in Mexico is not easy. For us, with a long record of great efforts, make a living out of the thing we love is amazing, so we try to enjoy it every day.

Made in México is a deep thought on how the environment, the reality of every country, its folklore and historic legacy, contributes to generate new visual languages. That’s how we developed original and authentic projects for brands such like Nike, Malibu Rum or PepsiCo, amongst others. This is the portrait of an independent designer, that enlightens the designing life in Mexico.

“Uncanny: Surrealism and Graphic Design”

The Surrealist movement of the 1920s and 1930s concentrated on literature, painting, photography and film.

As the movement’s influence spread, Surrealist ideas and images had a profound impact on applied image-makers and, by the 1960s, the effects of Surrealism were widely felt in graphic communication.

This lecture will trace the presence of an often overlooked, alternative graphic tradition in Europe and the United States that continues to this day.

It will show that graphic design, too, can sometimes be a place to encounter the strange, the fantastical and the uncanny, and to experience the convulsive beauty and capacity for enchantment and wonder that the Surrealists called “the marvellous”.

“Process and Experimentation: The Mill’s design team talks about the development of an idea”

From interpretation to exploration we take many approaches to a concept. How do we impact an audience with an idea? We are designers and explorers yet we are also consumers of media as much as we are the creators. The idea is just the beginning - a strong process and workflow is necessary to fulfil the brief to its potential.

Finally, we look at selling an idea as this is an art in itself. We are constantly determined to challenge an audience and we must state our case with full sincerity. We are prepared to test our ideas to let them fail before letting the best course win. Confidence and flexibility allow us to find surprising and successful results.

During this discussion we will share several case studies and explain each journey from concept to completion providing a glimpse of how The Mill still remains hungry and nimble.

ToDo JUNE 10TH / 12:30 / INTERACTIVE DESIGN“BETTER NOUVEAU, when bits fall in love with atoms”

Is a new project by ToDo: a family of products generated through digital techniques and applied computational strategies. It aims to transform mass all-of-a-kind products into dynamic, adaptive and evolving processes.

We exploit the designer’s ability to write custom software to connect the digital potential of bits with the direct, on-demand production of contemporary crafts, allowing for limitless variations, and encouraging the end-user to participate in the creative process.

To launch the Better Nouveau family, in 2009 we released Spamghetto, a generative spam-based wall covering which turns a traditional material such as wallpaper into a pattern of subtly offbeat digital motifs, which vary depending on the original spam material and on a handful of possible customization options.

At OFFF Barcelona 2011 we present our new-born Better Nouveau product Tweetghetto, a virtually endless wall of words which are generated from the user’s own selection of Twitter posts.

Tweetghetto extends the concept of user-centric customization of immutable, serialized products because it works without a pre-determined process and content, yielding truly ever-changing results.

HEY STUDIOJUNE 10TH / 14:30 / GRAPHIC DESIGN“Hey Barcelona!”

They will explain all the facts that influence their life, like being born in Barcelona, and how all this affects to their works.

JAMES WHITEJUNE 9TH / 15:30 / GRAPHIC DESIGN + ILLUSTRATION“Back to the Future: Part II”

Time to rock! Staying enthusiastic about your art and design is not entirely about finding new clients, nor is it about the changing industry.

We need inspiration, entertainment, progression, a solid bridge between conceptual and technical, and a positive outlook on our place in the design universe. What matters when searching for your creative voice?

This presentation will deal with all of these points wrapped into personal stories, art examples, client case studies, the importance of self-investment and a solid dose of nostalgic inspiration mixed with rock n’ roll. James will discuss the ins and outs of selling your personal artwork online and the adventure of building his line of designer t-shirts and posters.

He will also present the lessons learned from running his Signalnoise Design Studio for the past 5 years and how he went about creating his name in the design industry, which started 30 years ago at the age of 4.

This presentation will be a full and robust extension on last year’s session, which was lovingly titled Back to the Future. This might be titled Part II, but don’t worry you haven’t missed a thing because when this baby hits 88 miles per hour, you’re gonna see some serious shit.

JENNIFER CIRPICIJUNE 10TH / 11:00 / GRAPHIC DESIGN

“Make the impossible possible”

She is living proof that you need to fight in the design industry, especially at young age of 20. She believes that school in this industry is an option for some but not all. For her in particular though simply having skills, motivation and a good sense of marketing are key and not to forget having great social skills.

In this conference she’ll talk about her experience with graphic design school, agencies and being freelancer. She’ll share tricks with you and talk about the do’s and the don’ts. This conference is about pushing your boundaries, making the impossible possible. Also motivating and inspiring people especially young artists. I suggest people bring something with you to write/type down notes.

SUPERBE JUNE 11TH / 12:00 / INTERACTIVE DESIGN + EXPERIMENTAL

“Reborn-Reboot, memory under pressure!”

If you put a cat in a blender, scientifically speaking, the blender is more likely to win. If you want to replicate yourself, use a photocopier. If you are spi-derman, a banker and a good-father, are you the addition of the three or something else?

Who are we? Do machines dream ? What makes our creativity? Is there any real space between “reborn and reboot”?.

TIMBA SMITSJUNE 10TH / 15:30 / GRAPHIC DESIGN + ILLUSTRATION + COMMUNITY

We are proud to present ‘Let’s feed the future’ Workshop Collaborative to be held at OFFF festival on Wednesday 8th June in Barcelona, featuring Aaron Koblin, Ricardo Cabello (mr.doob), Filip Visnjic (CAN) and Eduard Prats Molner.

JON BURGERMANJUNE 10TH / 11:00 - 13:00 / ILLUSTRATION + INSPIRATIONAL + EXPERIMENTALAULA 1“Anti-Work Shop”

People would come with a pen and notebook. We’d sit, eat salads perhaps and drink tea. We’d talk, look at somethings online perhaps, or out of the window. We’d talk to each other, but the general outcome/skills taught would be completely undetermined.

Sometimes I wake up and have no idea what day will bring. Sometimes I sit at my desk, and have no idea what will come out of my pen.

The workshop could be a retreat from adding information into our heads. It could be a relaxing hour or so where stuff can be teased out of your head, things you didn’t even know was in there in the first place.

JULIEN VALLÉEJUNE 11TH / 10:30-13:30 / MOTION GRAPHICS + ANIMATION + EXPERIMENTAL + STORYTELLING + INSPIRATIONALAULA 1

“Dot Workshop”

Stories or narratives have been shared in every cultures for different means and that since a very long time ago. People lives to tell stories, whether it’s based on facts, something that someone else said or even by making up fictional stories.

We also keep a lot of objects from those stories : a ticket from a concert you went to see with a very special friend; an old frame from your grand-parents house; sports cards from your favorite football player when you were child… Those memories are incrusted into these objects and attributes them a totally different signification from one person to the other.

In this workshop we would like to explore what story could tell a simple ‘dot’. Participants will have about 5 seconds (60 frames) to bring the dot to live : it can change it’s form, it’s matter, duplicate, transform into a plant, travel trough a dramatic universe, etc. As long as it brings us into their universe. The dot need to get back into it’s original position and shape at the end of the story.

OFFFMática

OFFFMàtica OTHER MIRRORSJUNE 9-19 / FLOOR -1 / CCCB

The reconfiguration of the portrait as an artistic motif.OFFFMàtica is a joint production between OFFF, Sonar and CCCB.

OFFFMàtica presents a selection of works which are based on the concept of the portrait, in three separate areas of investigation: interactive installations, printed design works and a selection of online works.

ARAM BARTHOLJUNE 9TH TO 19TH / 10:30 TO 21:30 / INTERACTIVE DESIGN

“0,16”

“0,16” is a light installation in which the viewer’s shadow is turned into pixels. The piece consists of a wall made of small square frames covered in transparent paper on both sides. There is a third layer of paper in the centre of the frames, and a lamp illuminates a visitor from a distance, whose shadow is broken down into squares, thereby presenting a pixelated human figure on the other side of the installation. The titles refer to the screen’s resolution, of 0.16 pixels per inch.

Aram Bartholl studied architecture at the University of the Arts UdK Berlin and graduated there in 2001. His installations and performances have been shown at numerous festivals, museum and gallery shows worldwide. In his art work, Bartholl thematizes the relationships between digital space and public day-to-day life.

DAITO MANABE & MOTOI ISHIBASHIJUNE 9TH TO 18TH / 10:30 TO 21:30 / INTERACTIVE DESIGN

“Fadeout”

An image captured by infrared camera is drawn using laser irradiation on a phosphorescent screen. The laser “paints” the image on the screen from one side to the other, with each movement creating a small shiny area that only remains for a short period of time, before returning to its original state.

Based on this simple principle, it is possible to create a representation in great detail with shades, gradations and contrasts, creating an image that is as realistic as it is ephemeral.

Working across different fields including art, design and research, Daito Manabe has approached and redefined existing media and technologies from their own unique angles. Instead of using technologies to achieve an ever “higher-resolution” illusionistic reality, his works aim at rediscovering the beauty of transient events through careful observations and exploration of the basic properties of body, computer and computer programming.

DAITO MANABE & MOTOI ISHIBASHIJUNE 9TH TO 18TH / 10:30 TO 21:30 / INTERACTIVE DESIGN

“Points”

“Points” is a work that traces the audience’s image using a system consisting of a 3D camera and a compressed air pistol.

The programme calculates the edges around the visitor using the depth data obtained from the camera, and makes them into a sequence of targets for the pistol. The system uses the famous mathematical combinatorial optimisation problem known as the “traveller problem” to calculate the optimum paths of the two high resolution actuators that control the compressed air pistol.

IGNOREJUNE 9TH TO 18TH / 10:30 TO 21:30 / INTERACTIVE DESIGN

“Photobooth”

“Photobooth” is a slightly different version of the classic instant photo booth: the user is photographed by a system that does not aim to be functional, but instead to make the visitor emotionally involved. “Photobooth” is produced by Ignore, students of OFFF Atelier, an OFFF educational project that came about in order to offer provide real intense first hand professional experience for new generations of artists. It is a multidisciplinary experiment that includes young people from different fields, such as graphic design, new media and video.

JOSHUA DAVISJUNE 9TH TO 18TH / 10:30 TO 21:30 / INTERACTIVE DESIGN

“The Yelling Room”

Joshua Davis is a very highly respected artist, designer and technologist from New York (he works with tools he creates himself) and is considered an icon of modernity and has always been eagerly awaited in previous OFFF events, at which he has been a regular collaborator.

For this first event, OFFFMàtica, is preparing a pieces specifically commissioned for the festival: an installation that will enable viewers to create various portraits based on the sounds they make.

KYLE MCDONALD, ZACH LIEBERMAN, THEO WATSON & DAITO MANABEJUNE 9TH TO 18TH / 10:30 TO 21:30 / INTERACTIVE DESIGN

“The Janus Machine”

Sitting in a chair opposite the scanner, the viewer is bathed in light and the system scans his or her profile in 3D. This portrait captures the visitor’s face and compares it with a portrait produced earlier.

This comparison creates a silhouette of the captured form, and encourages a search for similar portraits. The Janus Machine (its name refers to the Roman god of duality) is an entertaining look at relationships with other people based on light, and encourages exploration of these similarities.

MARNIX DE NIJSJUNE 9TH TO 18TH / 10:30 TO 21:30 / INTERACTIVE DESIGN

“Mirror Piece”

This installation scans the facial features and characteristics of the person looking in the mirror and compares them with those of many other portraits in a database that includes individuals that have become famous for being controversial or who are even criminals in some cases.

Once the similarity has been established, a computerised voice publicly announces the name of the person identified with each viewer, highlighting the increasing use of biometric technology in the public space which according to Nijs, is something that should arouse our scepticism.

Marnix de Nijs is a Dutch artist whose work explores the dynamic clashes between bodies, machines and technology in contemporary society.

OVERTYPE STUDIO TOUR: BCN VOL 1.0 WITH INOCUO, BROSMIND, DIESTRO, JOEL LOZANO, HANAKO MIMIKO, LUIS NCT & ENRIC SANTJUNE 9TH TO 18TH / 10:30 TO 21:30 / INTERACTIVE DESIGN

“Various Works”

Overtype is a research project headed by flan* (flan.cat) focusing on the study of the expression of the stroke and combination between drawing and technology.

An important part of the project is the creation of digital tools adapted and designed specifically for artists, designers, illustrators and printers, seeking new experiences and types of digital creation.

Overtype Studio Tour is a means of raising the profile of this concept, and is a journey around the leading studios to create a collaborative work and present the possibilities of the project.

In this case, Overtype Studio Tour: BCN Vol. 1.0 includes six of Barcelona’s leading design studios in this collective work: Inocuo, Brosmind, Diestro, Joel Lozano, Hanako Mimiko, Luis NCT and Enric Sant. Each of them has to use different artistic processes and tools to illustrate and/or design the portraits of the members of each studio. The process can be followed live through facebook’s project site (facebook.com/overtype).

SET HUNTER & ERIC ROSENBAUMJUNE 9TH TO 18TH / 10:30 TO 21:30 / INTERACTIVE DESIGN

“Stillness Clock, Motion Clock”

This work explores the perception of time – while moving and at rest – using the slit-scanning technique (similar to capturing movement using photographs).

The work consists of two video clocks: the one on the left responds to the viewer’s movement, and leaves a jagged trail of the activity with the passing of time; the one on the right is activated only when there is no movement, while the visitor’s image emerges slowly.

A comparison of the two clocks leads to the question: does time pass more slowly when you are moving or when you keep still?

VV.AA.JUNE 9TH TO 18TH / 10:30 TO 21:30 / INTERACTIVE DESIGN

“Online Works”

OFFFMàtica also offers a selection of online website and projects which are of particular interest in terms of their applications and works related to the world of the portrait.

Some of them allow the viewer to interact by means of webcams (Source Laboratory, Face Your Pockets), while others distort and manipulate faces created beforehand (Monoface), and others play with typography in relation to human body language (Helvetica Face, Type Face Project).

PressPausePlay, A Film about Hope, Fear and Digital CultureJUNE 9TH / 18:45 + JUNE 10TH / 19:30 + JUNE 11TH / 18:45 / FILMMAKING + STORYTELLING + INSPIRATIONAL

The digital revolution of the last decade has unleashed creativity and talent of people in an unprecedented way, unleashing unlimited creative opportunities.

But does democratized culture mean better art, film, music and literature or is true talent instead flooded and drowned in the vast digital ocean of mass culture? Is it cultural democracy or mediocrity?

This is the question addressed by PressPausePlay, a documentary film containing interviews with some of the world’s

most influential creators of the digital era.
